🚑🤝 When a client or their family comes to us after a serious accident — such as a brain or spinal injury — our solicitors work alongside leading barristers from Exchange Chambers to provide extensive support. From the moment we’re instructed right through the treatment and recovery process — and sometimes even beyond — our family-orientated approach is all about using our knowledge and experience to guide clients through the initial shock and what can be a difficult, draining and complex journey. We can help to make your lives that little bit easier. In this conversation, Fiona Tinsley (Partner, Brabners) and Bill Braithwaite KC (Barrister, Exchange Chambers) explain the teamwork approach we adopt to support clients and their families who've suffered from a serious injury — from getting home after hospital treatment to money worries, accommodation and transport arrangements as well as the ongoing rehabilitation, care and support that may follow. In this clip, Fiona and Bill explain how our team can identify the right medical experts for each case, be on-hand to support patients and their families from the very start of the process and build strong relationships that stand the test of time. 🎥 Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/e8Xb78QC ➡ More on our services: https://lnkd.in/e4ZykN-U ➡ Brabners x Exchange Chambers: https://lnkd.in/db_iyx3u

🎥🛍 Watch the highlights from the first of our Future of Retail and Placemaking Conference events, which brought together leaders from across the retail sector and built environment to discuss 'human centric' placemaking. Hosted by Helena Davies, Iain Gamble and Krista Powell alongside our friends at Portland Design on 11 September in our Manchester Office, the event featured a thought-provoking keynote speech from Ibrahim Ibrahim and two panel sessions expertly hosted by Andrea Carpenter. For our high streets and town centres to thrive socially and commercially, we must start with people. Understanding people’s lives and expectations and engaging with them is critical to delivering effective regeneration projects and spaces that are fit for purpose and can continue to evolve over time. Some key thoughts from our Manchester event included: 🔸 Should we be considering ‘place-growing’ or ‘place-curating’, rather than ‘placemaking’? Let’s build on and adapt what we already have, putting the views of the local community at the forefront of what we do. 🔸 We need to create more immersive experiential retail opportunities with a focus on the overall experience, rather than the purchase alone. 🔸 The relationship between people and brands has changed. Consumers are looking to ‘join’ brands rather than simply ‘buy’ them. 👏 A huge thank you to Ibrahim, Andrea and all our panellists — Andrew Bentley BEM (PlaceCulture), Pete Swift (Planit), Frances Jones (Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation), Chris Bowen (Torus Developments), Simon Layton (Trafford Centre), Rob Deacon (Grosvenor) and Thom Hetherington (Landing Light). ➡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJnVEvUB 🎥 Watch on Vimeo: https://lnkd.in/gWWENuBE 👉 Discover our services for retail: https://lnkd.in/edAJAdBH
